User comments

Have moved this hogal plan into a separate slot. Previously this file appeared as a supplement at Scimitar (oz3218).

Error on Scimitar drawing (oz3385). I made the ribs to this plan. These require the TE to be tapered, rather than square as per the plan. I don’t know if there any other errors because I have restarted the build using just the original plan.

Good point. The ribs as drawn here would fit a wing that tapered forwards at the flap hinge line. But the wing layout (plan view) shows a constant chord width between the main spar and the flap hinge.

Notes

* Credit field

The Credit field in the Outerzone database is designed to recognise and credit the hard work done in scanning and digitally cleaning these vintage and old timer model aircraft plans to get them into a usable format. Currently, it is also used to credit people simply for uploading the plan to a forum on the internet. Which is not quite the same thing. This will change soon. Probably.

Scaling

This model plan (like all plans on Outerzone) is supposedly scaled correctly and supposedly will print out nicely at the right size. But that doesn't always happen. If you are about to start building a model plane using this free plan, you are strongly advised to check the scaling very, very carefully before cutting any balsa wood.
